The idea of preventing such future acts is very attractive, as we, the world, are almost in a state of shock over recent events. So looking forward to your writing.

While there may be many specific actions that help, I hope you consider what is outlined in this article…

Haha, I already saw and liked that article of yours. I agree, power doesn't corrupt, it reveals. If you really want to test a man's character, give him power.

I've been gathering info on how to create a society that supports human flourishing for quite awhile. Going to be dropping a podcast weekly, the first four episodes will be a cross-cultural catalog of virtues, it's shaping up to be pretty good from the previewer's feedback. I'll probably post articles as well, but I want to have enough audio content "in the bank" before publishing. Hopefully if it merits it, you and others will spread the word so people can contemplate and discuss the ideas. It'll be free forever (there will be a way to support us, but it will be for the entertainment only, the important stuff will never be paywalled).

We're gonna make it.

Thank you Dave. I will follow your work. In the Does Power Corrupts post, I kept it fairly short, yet a deeper dive into happiness, and actions and attitudes that universally engender happiness, is a subject worthy of far greater treatment.
